Action has been taken promptly to diminish
as far as possible the risks to vessels from the
enormous timber raft which went adrlft near
Nantucket Shoals. A vessel from the BrOollyn
Navy Yard started out promptly to search
for the raft and tow it into port. and revenue
cutter will also be dispatched to the scene
of danger. Shp-owners and business men IN
tcrested in commerce have given immediate
attention to this important matter, and their
representations have induced the authorities TO
take steps to prevent threatened ocean disas-
ter. The Egyptian oSclisk now standing in
London went adrift in a storm in the Bay Of
Bscay some years ago, but was recovered with
out accident. 1t is to be hoped that equal good
fortune will attend the efforts to bring safely
into port the huge timber hulk which is now
tossing about in the ocean.

The District-AttOrncy should make all pos

lawyer who has been at work on John Nuttail
with claims for " fees" alleged to be charged
in the District-Attorncy'S Office. There arc
host of these legal buzzards constantly iluttcr-

but they usually know enough not to place
themselves within the grasp Of the law. But
according to Nuttalls story. and it sounds cX-
cccdnsly probable, the sharper who played on
him was reckless enough to commit paipablc
blackmail and forgery. He seems to have
wendell himself away TO distant parts, but
steady watch should be kept for him.

A COMMERCIAL MUSEUM.
An Opening for Hawaii in the European
Market

Mr.. John II. Patty, Consul for the
Netherlands and Belgium, has favored
us with printed document, announc-
ing the organization and setting forth
the objects of the Commercial Museum
of the city Of Liege, Belgium. This
institution was started to develop the
commercial relations Of Belgium with
foreign countries, and to make per
manent display of merchandise de-
manded or offered by such countries.
The Museum was instituted by the
Liege Chamber Of Commerce, with the
cooperation Of the city government.
Readers Of the HERALD will remember
an article few weeks ago, calling at
tention to the fact that Commercial, and
industrial museums we're being numer-
ously established in European countries,
the suggestion being ventured that such
an institution in Hawaii might yield
very beneficial results to the industry
and trade Of the nation.
From the prospectus before us, we
gather that it is intended to make the
Commercial Museum thoroughly repre-
sentative of merchandise capable OF
importation as we'll as expectation, or a
sort of exchange market by samples
between the country where it is estab.
lished and all other countries avaiinl
themselves of its facilities. Thus the
Liege Museum, together with others o.
the kind, in Europe, may be utilizec
by this country for displaying Hawaiian
products-wool, ramie fibre, taro flour
guava jelly, etc.-for which a marke
in Europe may be desired.
Doubtless the Hawaiian Consuls II
Europe will ere this have informed thi
Government of these institutions ant
the opportunities they afford for devel
oping new commercial relations be
tween this and other countries. Espe
cially must this be so in the case OF tn
: Hawaiian Consul at Liege, Mr.. Ma
Gebel, for he has the honor Of stanc
p ing at the head Of the commission c
organization Of the Museum referred t
in this article.
The services of the Museum of Lieg
, are entirely gratuitous, once the e,
hibits are placed in its possession, the
; becoming the property of the institr
ton. The circular gives a succinC
: description or statement of the indus
, tries Of Liege, that being the indus
trial center of Belgium, a city Of 1873
, o44 inhabitants in 1884 and the cap
tai Of the province Of the same nam
! containing over 100000 of populi
!, ton. 1t also contains a catalogue I
the various groups into which the e,
: hibitlon is divided, numbering fort
|, four in all and comprising every col
. ceivable product Of nature and art
: the wide world.

First Concert on Thomas Square.

July 3Ist IS43, marked an era in
Hawaiian political history with which
the spot since designated Thomas
Square is closely associated. At that
date and place Hawaiian Independence
was formally acknowledged by Admiral
Thomas of the British navy, by way of
undoing previous act of possession
by Lord George Paulet To perpe-
tuate the remembrance of that impor-
tant event, the spot was subsequently
appropriated to the use of the public.
Several small votes of money were
made in successive sessions of the
Legislature for improving the place,
but for many years little was done on
it. Some time ago, however, the Hon.
A. S. Cleghorn was put in charge, and
plans of improvement were devised and
carried out with skill and perseyer-
ance that do honor to that gentleman's
taste and public spirit The laying out
of the grounds was the work of Hon.
Robert Stirling, and the plans laid
down by him were carried out by Mr..
Cleghorn. The legislative grant was
supplemented by contributions raised
by him among his friends in the city,
and the manner in which these funds
have been applied cannot but be salts
factory to the contributors as well as to
the public in general.
The square covers an area of seven
acres. A grand stand for the use of
the band has been erected in the center
and is the work of Mr. Wilhelm, to
whose mechanical ability it does its
share of credit. 1t is higher off the
ground than the stand on Emma
Square, has a roof constructed o.
acoustic principles, and brings tht
musicians into view from every point o
the grounds except where the visior
may be intercepted by the foliage o
the trees. The main avenues are laiC
out in concentrc circles. Across these
at convenient distances run straigh
, and broad walks, all being convex OF
r the surface and covered with blacl
sand. The whole lot is finely dotteC
with ornamental trees which seem t
e be in hourishing condition, and no
only afford ample shade but contrl
A butte sylvan character to the place

plants of many varieties. Settees ar
. placed at different points under tree
where, doubtless, many "mash vii
take place.
The square may be said TO hav

9TH April, 1887, will mark a red-letter
day in the calendar of Honolulu recrea-
ton. The Royal Hawaiian Band, led
by Professor Berger, took the stand at
1890, and forthwith the air became re-
sonant with the harmonies for which
that organization has already made it
self famous. Mr. Michies led the
band in fantasia, gave cornet solo,
and also conducted the playing of a
new piece of his own composition
"Queen Kapiolani's Farewell" The
band music throughout was excellent,
the boys entering enthusiastically
into the spirit of the occasion. The
attendance was creditable to the public,
inasmuch as it showed a general appre-
citation Of the completion Of this new
and attractive place of resort. Some
occupied the benches, others lay
at full length on the grass, con
siderable portion OF the visitors
riveted themselves in position near the
grand stand and RECALLED themselves
with the symphonies radiating there
from; Others again strobe along the
walks exhibiting their personal attrac-
tons, while the juveniles, of whom
there were many, played "hide and
seek" and the game of "chase" some
what to the annoyance Of fastidious
people and in spite of the vigilance Of
the police. The bright moonlight
shining down upon trees, plants, flowers
and greensward, and on the groups Of
people, impaired a subdued sort Of
brilliancy to the whole scene. Alto
gether, the inaugural Of Thomas
Square was an event the recollection o
which many will carry with them be
yond the seas, and tell it to their friends
in other lands.

Magnetic storm in Europe.

Speaking of the storm that recently swept
all over Europe, the Brooklyn Citizen thinks
it is obviously due to causes that are larger
than local conditions. There is now hardly
a doubt in the minds of scientific men that
the sudden atmospheric disturbances, apart
from the normal movements Of the air caused
by the shifting of the areas OF exposure to
solar heat which we call the seasons, are due
to sudden disturbances on the surface of the
sun. What are called magnetic storms on
our planet, indicated sometimes by un-
usual displays of the aurora borealis, violent
disturbances of earth and atmospheric cur
rents of electricity-which have been
known to affect the Atlantic cable
seriously-have a complete CORES pondence
with the outbreak of great energies on the
solar surface For at least twenty-five years
the study of sun spots and the tremendous
storms, as they are called, on the outer cover
ing of the sun, has engrossed the attention
of astronomers and men of science gener-
ally and the almost invariable accord be-
tween such phenomena and the occurrence
of widespread magnetic storms on this
planet places the two beyond the reasonable
possibility of mere coincidence. What oc-
cssiOns these solar storms We have no means
of knowing certainly, but the fact only adds
one more TO the catalogue OF proofs OF the
interdependence Of the solar system. 1t is
bv no means improbable that while the
suns activities affect his family of planets
their own behavior has modifying effect
upon his, and, therefore, on each others.

Why the Alleged Exposure of Corruption by
Pacific Railroads Was Made.

New YORK, Jan. 15.-A Washington special
says: "Theophilus French, who appeared
to-day as the author of an alleged exposure
OF corruption by the Pacific Railroads. was
removed under President Arthur's Admins
tration for improperly using his Office, pre-
sumably in the interest OF the railroads.
From the Governments service he went into
that of the railroads, and he now uses the in
formation he obtained there and elsewhere
to fresheR up lot of stuff that has appeared
at various times in the newspapers on the
Pacific coast
The Daily News this afternoon publishes
the following as the substance of an inter
view with @. 2. Huntington, president OF the
Central Pacific Railroad, on the same sub
ject. He said that the California papers
had published similar articles before and one
of them said we had stolen $3.50, 000,0 900, aud
now it has been reduced to s., 100000. The
books of the company had been and were
open for inspection, and the matter had prob
ably been looked into twenty times. You
can't" he said, s'run a large corporation like
this without having large miscellaneous
expense account. You have to protect your
property. The matter is very old, and has
been before the public in one form or
another for many years. Mr.. French has
been in here to see nae several times about
buying his information. He told me
that he was going to sell it, and il did not
buy it some other party would. told HIM
l knew all about the matter, and if he had
anything to sell he had better show me
something did not know anything about,
as / would not buy what knew all about.
We had loaned Mr.. French money to go in
business here and he still owes us that.
SOmes correspondence passed between us
about the sale of his information"
Here Mr.. Huntington had his letter-book
brought to him, and he read a letter of his
to Mr.. French, dated January 6, which ended
the negotiations. In that letter Mr. Hunt
ington said to the effect that, as Mr.. French
had obtained his information while IN the
employ of the Government, it was matter
between French and the Government, aud
not with Huntington. The latter had not
heard since from Mr.. French.
1.-THE young man, he said, allu6ing to Mr..
French, was impecunious, and evidently
wanted to make a little money"
